It is with great sadness that we say good bye to Michael Steinbacher, who posted on this forum as "starbiter", and had been a forum member since the beginning. He also participated in many EU conferences.

Michael passed away earlier today. Many members of this forum lost a friend.

Michael was a talented professional photographer who often took to the road to record images of both people and geology. He was always recruiting those interested for one of his tours.He will be missed.
